Mason Wood injury

[magnifisaint]

Where is the confirmation?
Interesting how most on here regarded him as pretty useless last year. He always looked to have ability.

He was pretty good pretty often last year - he’s just very good this year -I hope his injury isn’t too bad

Only those who don't see a thoroughbred when it (he) is right in front of their eyes.

Anyway he was great in the second half of last year and several had him in the starting lineup for 2023.

No news is good news, right?

I think Ross is going to post the xrays on here of Mason's shoulder as soon as they come to hand.

[Devilhead]

Media report (SEN?) saying maybe his injury isn't as bad as first thought ..... so maybe not 6-8 weeks as initially reported

Xrays aren't good enough. We need an MRI.

Reported on BF that they have been told the injury is not as bad as first thought....excellent news if true

[longtimesaint]

Fantastic news that he is a test this week.
Those posters that love posting bad news are very annoying

We are due for some good news on the injury front

The StK website has Wood rated as 'test' for this week and a 'sniff' to play against GC.

Webster out 5-6

[magnifisaint]

Some of you guys have got to stop making up bulls***.

[older saint]

AFL Website just reported avoided long term injury and possible for this week if gets through training.
Finally good news for injuries

Webster out likely 6 weeks though.

[longtimesaint]

At least with Jimmy out we have Paton to cover for him.

[Vortex]

Sheez we had to cop a break somewhere along the way

Yes exactly. Bummer for Jimmy. He's having a rough run. But that's great if Mason is available or only one week. Has become a crucial player and no-one really like for like.

[skeptic]

Sheez we had to cop a break somewhere along the way

We’ve already had at least two…
King and Steele

And Billings.

My understanding is that the decision will be made to either

1 Operate now, weeks out
2 Keep playing and assess after the bye, apparently the injury cannot get any worse

[The Fireman]

Maybe we have bottomed out on the bad luck curve

[Rubyjo]

IF RTB is GOD ..maybe and it's Easter and all he will resurrect Jesus Mason Wood.

If you are referring to Wood then keep playing him, wait for some others to come back and then get him into surgery. The way he's playing he could do it on one shoulder.

Awesome, we wanna crucify the Suns

[Toy Saint]

I've got the impression that Mason Wood's entire career has been plagued with some good form, then injury then inconsistency.
